Null capture pruning

Null move can fail low because of a capture artifact due
to the side to move change. Try to detect this condition
and fail high instead.

This pruning is very powerful, around 7% of nodes, but is
still experimental so is disabled by default.

Set UseNullCapturePruning to true to enable.
